Seriously - and I’m being totally serious here - if anyone has any tips/ideas/suggestions as far as aesthetics or layout, please don’t hesitate to PM or otherwise contact me. I’m looking for ways to keep it more consistent looks-wise, as well as between browsers, and I’m a total noob at this…

... seriously.

Did I miss something? What happened to (paraphrasing) “Eaves is is because he’ll shoot the puck and play smart?”

This has all the makings of a Red Wings slaughter, a bloodbath of untold proportions, in which the Canucks will stand over the Red Wings carcass after sixty minutes like valiant warriors over their prey.

Um, yeah. I don’t see Eaves listed among the line up, the injured, or the scratches.

Nevermind. Malik says Eaves is in for Tootoo.

I don’t know how I missed George’s main post today, but I did. Yay me.

I’d seen somewhere that St. Eaves had been removed from IR, so I didn’t list him… had no idea he was slated to play.

My juvenile side says, “Boobs.”

My serious side says, “Everything is here, RM.” All the important stuff, IMO, that I need to read is all accounted for.

My… well, “me” side says, “Smith and Quincey are both in the lineup, how many more boobs do you need?”

Everything should be fixed and updated and whatever. Slow day at work, yay. Also, going home now. More yay.

When I first read your comment I thought is said Eaves is in Toronto and I got all excited that there was a trade brewing and Nyquist would finally get a one-way ticket to Motown. Then I read it correctly. :(

Great job on the GDT, Red. Okie left some pretty big shoes to fill and you’re filling them.

6 users logged in and only 10 comments in the past hour on KK. On a game day. 168 posts in the last LB. This place is turning into a ghost town. Maybe we should start planning an A2Y/KK alumni LB of the Alumni Game of the Winter Classic; encourage all the former usual suspects to come back to their old stomping grounds. Maybe the Chief or the Emperor could send an email to all registered users about it.

Speaking ONLY for myself. I’ve been hanging here for quite a while, and love the 19. BUT,don’t know if it’s just the internet in general, or a phase I am going though, I find it easier and easier to tune out, because personally, I am tired of seeing folks bash our team, seemingly non-stop.

Fuching Stevie Wonder can see that we have a mostly horrible defense that will limit us this year. It’s not headline news. So why belabor the point? Yeah, I know, it’s what sports fans do, we pick apart our teams.

We used to have a LOT of juvilicious fun here. Lately, not so much. Once upon a time, I couldn’t NOT sign onto a LB. We had serious ,substantive discussions on serious topics like whether microwave bacon was gay (and Red Wings hockey),etc….and you catch my drift.

Maybe the moment has passed, but I would like to think not. I guess it’s up to us.

I was told recently by a wise man that, paraphrasing of course, traffic to sites like this tends to suffer a bit when a team is going through a “slump.” I suppose when things aren’t all puppies, rainbows, and hookers it’s hard for some people to be as “upbeat” or whatever.

I am not one of those people. I’ll enjoy my Red Wings hockey, win or lose, with a drink in one hand and the Internet in the other, and do my best to see a glimmer of “silver lining.”

Or something.

I know I wasn’t posting as much when the tigers were still playing, mostly because I wasn’t watching the wings live. But now, I am here mostly every game, unless I am not catching it live. It has seemed to been dead here lately, many regulars aren’t here, some are LBing on other sites like WIIM. I do think some of it has to do with the chief’s work schedule, he can’t post around here much anymore so there isn’t as much traffic to this site on a daily basis. But this will always be my home.

Posted by RedMenace from Team Slovaskimo Fighting Snipers on 10/30/13 at 10:04 PM ET

I know you aren’t implying this, but I have nothing against WIIM, and I really do miss JJ on here, dude has some crazy hockey knowledge. But something has always drawn me to this site, especially when the chief has been able to post regularly. Going over there for live blogs just wouldn’t be the same.
